Most of us old people want to hang on as long as possible. The rate of suicide in the elderly is 18% of all suicides although they are 12% of the population (aamft.org). I'm sure the stress of covid and estrangement from family a lot of us are experiencing will cause suicide rates to increase. One of my grandson's friends killed himself lost everything; his job, apartment, girlfriend, car within a month. Yeah he's well out of it, but left alot of pain for family and friends. Might be the easy way but survivors have to live with it.
